Tata Motors has some great plans for the upcoming year 2011. The automobile manufacturer is gearing to bring news cars to the Indian automobile market which includes Tata Dolphin, Tata Indicruz, Tata Prima in diesel and petrol engines, Tata Venture and last but not the least Tata Safari facelift.

Of the latest product lineup of Tata new car launch in 2011, Tata Dolphin seems to have attracted your attention because this is the newest baby from Tata Motors factory and probably the most important car for Tata and surely the next-big-thing from Tata Motors after Nano.

Tata new car in 2011 Tata Dolphin will sit between the cheapest small car in the world, the Nano and Tata Indica/Vista. The car is also significant because it will challenge the segment rival Maruti Suzuki Alto and the upcoming Maruti Suzuki Cervo.

Tata Dolphin price is expected to be very competitive and very aggressive keeping in mind the rivalry it will be facing from Cervo and Alto. The new Tata Dolphin is anticipated to be priced at Rs. 2-2.5 lac which makes it at par with Cervo and slightly over Tata Nano.

Tata new car in 2011 Tata Dolphin will come with both petrol and diesel motors, another smart move by Tata and will be powered by 800-1000cc engine. Tata offers a roomier cabin almost at par with Maruti Suzuki’s WagonR and Hyundai Santro Xing while keeping the price tag aggressive. But with Maruti Suzuki Alto ruling the segment for so long, the task looks bit difficult.

Nonetheless Tata Motors is expected to launch the Tata Dolphin in 2011 with company’s new design language which is heavily inspired by Jaguar. So, does that mean that when Tata launches Dolphin it could really take its rivals for a ride? Alto better watch out!

With Tata Indica gradually disappearing from country’s major metros, Tata Motors would very surely want the new small car, the Tata Dolphin to take over and fill those gaps, until then let us wait when Tata launches Dolphin in 2012.
